Cleo stows away on a steamer to New Granada, where she hopes to catch a train to San Francisco to find her brother.

Inspired by true events, this haunting yet hopeful YA graphic novel weaves together family dynamics, mental illness, and religion-perfect for fans of Hey, Kiddo. It makes me wonder . . . how much of my childhood was real. Corey's mom has always made him feel safe. Especially after his parents' divorce, and the dreaded visitations with his dad begin. But as Corey grows older, he can't ignore his mother's increasingly wild accusations. Her insistence that God has appointed Corey as his sister's protector. Her declaration that Corey's father is the devil. Soon, she whisks Corey and his sister away from their home and into the boiling Nevada desert. There, they struggle to survive with little food and the police on their trail. Meanwhile, under the night sky, Corey is visited by a flickering ghost, a girl who urges him to fight for a different world-one outside of his mother's spoon-fed tales, one Corey must find before it's too late. Drawing inspiration from his own upbringing in the Mormon church, and inspired by his own life experiences, Corey Egbert welcomes readers on an emotionally stirring, surreal journey into the liminal spaces between imagination and memory, faith and truth.

Some people call it 'abyss gaze.' Gaze into the abyss all day and the abyss will gaze into you. There are two types of people who think professionally about the future: Foresight strategists are civil futurists who think about geoengineering and smart cities and ways to evade Our Coming Doom; strategic forecasters are spook futurists, who think about geopolitical upheaval and drone warfare and ways to prepare clients for Our Coming Doom. For both types, if you're good at it, depression sets in. Mental illness festers. And if the abyss gaze takes hold there's only one place to recover: Normal Head, in the wilds of Oregon. When Adam Dearden, a foresight strategist, arrives at Normal Head, he is desperate to unplug and be immersed in sylvan silence. But then a patient goes missing from his locked bedroom. As the mystery of the disappeared man unfolds, Adam uncovers a conspiracy that calls into question the core principles of how and why we think about the future - and the past, and the now.
